Guaranteed cruises to victory winning the first heat of the NSW Derby.
Even 36mm of rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of day two of the TAB.COM.AU Inter Dominion Carnival at Tabcorp Park Menangle.
Despite frequent storms and heavy skies the track has remained in great order.
Stewards tested the mobile a few times throughout the day and gave the green light for racing to go ahead as scheduled.
Classy Victorian pacer Guaranteed handled the wet conditions with ease, taking out the first race on the program and in the process became the first horse to qualify for the Camarda and Cantrill New South Wales Derby.
Superbly rated by star Victorian reinsman Chris Alford, Guaranteed worked three wide to the ‘death seat’ and outstayed his rivals clocking 1:57.2 to beat Lennytheshark.
